   | Description | An attacker can cause Asterisk to crash remotely by      |
   |             | sending malformed RTP text frames. While the attacker    |
   |             | can cause Asterisk to crash, he cannot execute arbitrary |
   |             | remote code with this exploit.                           |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
